Moonflower 1st half
Moonflower 2nd half

Here is an example of one mosaic that was created by two artists partners in 2024; Cathleen Newsham started the mosaic on the left, then mailed the 1/2 finished piece to Carrie Fradkin, who completed the mosaic as seen on the right.  (They discussed the project before starting and decided that they would mail a small amount of tiles with the 1/2 completed works so the 2nd artist could blend the tessare into the 2nd half.)

Cathleen and Carrie also decided before they started that both pieces should be the same size, so each ordered EZ Frames from Wit's End Mosaics at this link: https://witsendmosaic.com/mosa...

Sale Of Art

The Becket Arts Center asks that all artwork be for sale.  The gallery will be taking a 25% commission.

Artists will receive 75% of the sale, which will be paid monthly according to the sale date. 

You and your partner should decide the sale price of each piece together, keeping in mind the commission the gallery will be taking.

If you do not want to sell your work the gallery is asking each artist to pay a hanging fee of $25.00 per entry.  So, if you do not want to sell and you are shipping the work please include a check for $25.  If you are dropping off, please hand it to a staff member when delivering your piece.  

Checks for the gallery fee should be made out to The Becket Arts Center.
